Hey, I've done a full wipe as well as return to stock, then proceed to install jwr66y from scratch, after installing i proceeded installing twrp and superuser, everything seems to run fine with root and all. The only thing which has been bothering me is that some apps are displaying force close error immediatly after starting them. Examples are Adaway, Adfree and Yelp.
Anyone knows what's going on there?
Same thing with me, some apps just crash immediately. I'm glad I made a backup before I installed. I installed the ota through a zip to preserve root/custom recovery and also just installing it normally. Same thing happens with crashes.

Yeah i also installed though a Zip which was supposed to be vanilla with added busybox and root.
I had my nexus 7 running so i was backing up from there which fixed the problem. However i am really wondering why apps which were downloaded straight from google play messed around.
I hope they won't mess around later.
I was completely stock and the same thing happened to me. I had to erase recovery, data and boot loader through fastboot and then reinstall everything new from the factory image on Google's site.

Oh wow. I had to do that with the initial 4.3 release. Don't think I'll do it for such a minor update unless I have a lot of free time. Though, the software update notification is in the way most of the time.. In surprised this isn't affecting more devices.

holy smokes, this is happening to me with rooted stock. I even did a factory reset and nothing changed, all apps were downloaded except dead trigger, music, maps and TI.
I figured out how to fix this all you have to do is DL the latest Google apps zip then flash it and then it all works again
nevermind problem came back this is getting really annoying x,x

I got mine fix. I had to install stock image, lock the boot-loader and then clean all caches and unlock, then root again.
It was a pain in the ass as many times i had to factory reset and install stock rom in order to fix it.
Hope you fix it.
Just image factory restore your nexus 7 yeah it erase all data but will fix for sure. There is 2 tool to do that pretty easily.
1. Nexus 7 Toolkit v2.0
2. Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3
Bot can Restore to stuck, lock/unlock bootloader, install stock/custom img or recovery etc...

My nexus 7 is rooted. Is that why it can't accept the 4.1.2 update? What should I do? It keeps reminding me to install the update every 15 minutes. When I try to, it just crashes.

I'm trying to update it while keeping root. I downloaded ota root keeper. But I keep getting the "dead Android with red exclamation mark" screen every time I try to install the OTA update. I even tried its option to temporarily un-root before performing the update, but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit - Also I tried installing it manually. Used GooManager to install TWRP and tried installing 4.1.2 through it. Still fails every time. I'm disgusted.

Backup--unroot--relock--update--unlock--reroot--recover? I'm brand new to this stuff (don't even have a N7 yet), but seems like this would work.
The stock update will only install with stock recovery being root has no effect. If you have changed system apps. Like to the 4.2 apps floating around could stop the update as well. Google does not care another root or unlocked. I would say do factory reset then update then root. Or download one of the stock cwm/twelve roms and be done with it.

Well it happened again. The 4.2.2 update is out and I can't update to it. Every time I try, I get the dead android error icon.
It sure gets old saying this, but...
The error message is recorded in the recovery log at
/cache/recovery/recovery.log
You will find that the problem has nothing to do with root per se - generally the root user (or apps that were granted root privilege) have altered or deleted something in /system needed for the OTA to correctly complete.
In general, OTAs are not meant for customized ROMs - it is unreasonable for anyone to have an expectation that they will work correctly on a customized ROM.
But I didn't install a customized rom. I just rooted/unlocked it.
You can always download the update from Google's servers and flash it through fastboot. No hassle.

Note that the recovery.log file gets overwritten every time you boot the recovery, so the thing you are trying to retrieve (let's say with the booted OS) will be from the immediately prior use of the recovery. So, attempt the OTA (let it fail), then boot into the OS and capture that file (using something which is root-privileged).
I'm getting error 7 when attempting to flash to stock 4.2.1.
I'm using CWM and saying theres somethings wrong in /system/app/music2.apk
If memory servers this happens if I have a frozen app, but I don't.
Any advice?
It happens if you've frozen, deleted, or otherwise modified a stock app.

That's what I thought. But I don't believe I did any modifications.
Meh guess I'll just backup my apps and reflash everything.
Wait. Would integrating updates into ROM cause this issue?

Of course, that means you overwrote system apps with newer versions and that counts as modifying the system.
If you didn't keep a backup of the original apps you'll have to install a factory image.

Unmount and remount system in your recovery. Then it should work.
Edit: The 5.0.26 CWM recovery update fixes this prob.
Hi all,
I was hoping someone could shed sime light to my situation. I have a rogers S4 and I rooted it via motochopper and it worked fine. Restored all my apps from Titanium backuoband all was well.
This morning my phone then got stuck at the samsung boot screen and I had to wipe data via the stock recovery to get iy working again...
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? This is thr 3rd time this has happened

My guess would be the titanium backup. As it can mess things up, once in a while.

I would blame TB mess ups more on old data being restored that causes problems, than TB itself.
OP... Are your app backups from a different ROM? If so, then I would try restoring without data. Or fresh app installs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
are you restoring system apps? or just user apps? if you are restoring system apps or something like the messaging storage, will normally cause problems in TB.
best to just connect to wifi and download all the apps again from playstore.
What I would do is odin back to stock do not restore anything for a day or 2, and monitor it. If it never does it again, then it was your backup, keep in mind some apps that worked on the G3, may not work on the G4.
Yes, this is Titanium, it happenned to me too, remember that doing that is like copying everything in the C: Program Files of a PC, formating the computer and restoring that folder, it might work, but you might end up in a lot of trouble overtime since the OS installs different part everywhere. Use Carbon aka Helium, its a much cleaner way to go
I was restoring apps (with data) and the backups were from older ROMs I used in my nexus 4. I am currently trying a non-rooted method for a few days and see if this problem reoccurs

I am running CM 10.2 by Skrilax - http://skrilax.droid-developers.org/cm10.2nightly/razrqcom/index.php?device=xt907 (Might be fine with the DHacker version also, but this is what I used.
Pretty much everything seems to work including GPS. I do not have Bluetooth anything so I can't speak to that. Some (maybe most) people seem to have difficulty getting it installed, but it can be done. There are a few tricks to it. Here's what worked for me:
I highly recommend using TWRP 2.6.0 as that's what I use and I know it works. Not sure whether other recoveries will function the same or not.
What you need:
1. The most recent version of CM 10.2 from the link above.
2. Gapps Core 4.3 - http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps 4.3
3. Root for 4.3 - http://download.chainfire.eu/342/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
1. Erase everything except the external sdcard. Do it three times. (Don't ask, just do it.)
2. Also Format Data - what the heck, do that 3 times too.
3. Install the CM 10.2 ROM, wipe dalvik and cache again and reboot into the system. DO NOT install anything else at this time for best results.
4. Let the OS boot all the way to the desktop.
5. Unlock the developer options by going into Settings\About Phone and tapping 8 times on Build number. (Only needs done one time, updates do not hide it again.)
6. In Developer options, change Root Access to "Apps and ADB". (Go ahead and set up whatever else you want in Settings.Do not install any apps or updates at this time.)
7. Reboot into Recovery. Install Gapps Core 4.3
8. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot into System. If it hangs on the Motorola logo, get back into Recovery and format data again. (This is why I said don't install apps or updates yet.)
9. Once the phone boots all the way, reboot into Recovery again and install Root using Supersu 1.43.
10. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot into System. If it hangs on the Motorola logo, get back into Recovery and format data again. (This is why I said don't install apps or updates yet.)
11. Once System has booted, you can update SuperSu in the Google Play Store. The first time you open it, it will want to update the binary. It's very important that you choose the option to do it from Recovery. Your phone will reboot into Recovery, update the binary and then boot back into System.
12. Once all this is done, so are you. Restore your apps, allow Google Play to do any updates, and customize the layout to your tastes.
Note: Once you get a successfully installed 10.2 setup, you can dirty flash the nightlies. Always clear dalvik and cache. And always backup your apps before flashing anything if you want to make your life easier.
ENJOY!!!
Going to give it a go with CWM I'll let you know how it goes.
Well I got the rom to work but I could not get it to boot after loading gapps. I tried wiping data but no joy!
Hey, Thanks for the very clear update instructions - I'm now on CM 10.2!
I am not able to successfully root though. SuperSU complains:
"There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manualyl re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
I have tried to reflash the SuperSU zip posted here multiple times to no avail...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Solved with http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
Flashed TWRP and I was able to get it up and running having the same issue with root going to try the file above and I'll update again.
edit
*** the supersu 1.51 file worked for me as well. ***

I'm still having issues. I got the root to work but everytime I reboot the device I have wipe data or it hangs on the boot logo.

Restored back to carbon rom 1.8. I may try again after a few more dailies are out. As this is my primary device I can not have the issues I saw. Admittedly it may be something that I did wrong and not the rom.

Got this up and running last night and no issues so far for me. I'm wondering though if any custom kernels work with 10.2? I was curious about the vanquishpuppiesn12 kernel.

can you confirm if rear mic is working when taking videos? this has been the only hangup for me on the 4.2.2 ROMs...
I doubt it, since that functionality is probably kernel related, but still just curious...
thanks!
Ok I noticed that I had somehow installed the wrong TWRP I installed 2.6.0 today and I have so far had good luck phone is up and running and seems to be stable. At first I had some issues with a few apps throwing errors during the mass install when I sync'ed with Google but a manual download after and they installed just fine. Also the new camera app called focal has some issues for me it opened and took pics but images in gallery are blank. However the stock camera app seems to working fine at least for stills I have not tried video yet.
I've got this all working too, including root. But I've been noticing about a second delay when pressing power to unlock the phone. Sometimes it delays so long that I press power again. So when the phone does wake up, the screen goes off again from my double press of impatience. I'm running the 0907 nighlty

FWIW, never needed to wipe data multiple times and I flashed everything at once. That said, still a good procedure to follow
Also, @georgeascott, that's a known bug. It tends to SOD on occasion... Not much to do to fix except maybe overclocking

Probably not, but you can get some of that functionality with root alone if you know how to mod systemui and stuff like that. Probably not the answer you're looking for but that's probably what it is...
Can always hope someone will Dev for it though

netizenmt,
Thx a lot for your help. I`m now on cm10.2, too.
But there seemed to be some bugs.
1.I cannot install any apps from Google Play Store, or it hangs on the MOTO logo after reboot.
2.I can take calls, but cannot reach the 3G network.
P.S.When I try to use QPST to configure the phone, the QPST tells Serious error encountered, write to phone aborted.
I've installed CM10.2 two weeks ago and everything is working great! The first time I flashed it I got stuck at the CM boot animation... After ten minutes spent watching it I forced it to reboot: stuck again. At this point I booted back to recovery, followed thoroughly netizenmt instructions (wipe three times, really!!!), installed CM10.2, Installed gapps, installed supersu v1.43 and so on (follow all the steps netizenmt told us!)... Everithing worked fine then. At this point I changed build.props to make the phone works in GSM mode.

If you go to settings/developer options and scroll down to HW overlays. Check the box to disable HW overlays. That should help with the tearing/chopping.
Also, maps FC all over the place as soon as you're using GPS.
